It definatly looks like the rust is due to be treated,Wheres all the rust in the footwell come from.

Thats the worst I've Ever seen. There must have been a leak from the Windscreen or the drain in the roof going into the floor pan !

Hi Guys,

We have been welding some more....I dont know if you know this but if you pick out the sealer on the inside there is probably rust underneath !!

I think the Japs used salt water based sealer.

Both towing eyes have been removed and welded plates on behind them then re-fitted...

Hi S12 fans

We also managed to complete the fabrication of the Intercooler pipework, mounted an S13 intercooler on the front valance behind the bumper and led the pipes to it as such...
